CenSin Posted March 25, 2010 Share #202 Posted March 25, 2010 Why couldn't they make (M) be (M2) instead of ? Then people who intentionally used (M) for brown M don't have to go back and change or qualify their bullets with adjectives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgewoodian Posted March 25, 2010 Share #204 Posted March 25, 2010 51st St is not an express stop. OOPS! Sorry. My bad. I guess I need to get the eyes checked. You are, of course, correct. I still think the (and kudos to whoever got the orange bullet up this afternoon!) will offer reasonable transit opportunities to the Lexington Ave. Line. As I mentioned before, if you need to get anywhere between Chambers and Grand Central you can get on the at Bleecker and be at your destination in not too terribly long a time, and there are simple across the platform transfers to the and at Union Square and Grand Central. If you're going north of 51st you can get on the there and be at 125th in 10 or 12 minutes. If you're going even further north, into the Bronx, then I would take the down to Chambers and get on the or . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrystie Street Cut Posted March 25, 2010 Share #213 Posted March 25, 2010 LOL @ all this M talk. Back in the normal days, no one EVER even mentioned the M. Now everyone is foaming all over it. I will and forever will be a fan of M. It was a very interesting and cool ride when the Slants and 42s ran and you can look out the storm door window. The M also contains one of the widest station platforms over at fresh pond which is my home stop. There is just something that is old school and vintage about it when you ride it. Although, the M running Via 6th ave will be interesting because it will use the cut which hasn't been used in decades for passenger service. All I can say is, RIP Nassau ST Local. Picture by me.

Eric B Posted March 25, 2010 Share #219 Posted March 25, 2010 I don't know why they changed the old broen M to M2, and the new one is now M. Isn't that going to change all the brown M's in previous posts referring to Nassau St to point to the orange one now? I figured the new one would jiust be M6.

Tinamarie Posted March 25, 2010 Share #225 Posted March 25, 2010 Wait a minute, where's your school? When the change goes into effect you can take the Orange to Broadway-Lafayette and transfer to the . I assume you're going uptown since the terminates at Bowling Green, which is just a couple of blocks from where the (J)/(Z) terminates, so why would you be needing the if that's where you were going? Anyway, at Broadway-Lafayette you can transfer to the at Bleecker. Right now you have to go outside and walk around the corner to get on the uptown but they're working on an in-station transfer that should be ready next year. Off the you can get the at Union Square, right across the platform, and probably without having to wait too long. But depending on where you're going it would probably make more sense to just stay on the . If you have to go north of 51st Street and need the I'd take the Orange to 51st and transfer to the there. I don't know how crowded it would be there but I imagine the further north you go, away from the central business districts, the more space you'll have. Anyway, those are my suggestions. LOL. I go to Brooklyn College. goes there. The doesn't terminate at Bowling Green anymore. Sometimes it does, but it's rare. I normally take the at Chambers Street downtown all the way to Flatbush Avenue. (The last stop.) With the orange , I have to possibly take the to Essex to get the to Chambers Street to get the . Question for my dad though: With the new , can he can get off at Bleecker Street for the , but isn't that for a downtown only? He has to go uptown.
